In-Game Updates: Ole Miss Football Takes On South Carolina

The Ole Miss Rebels are searching for a much-needed win on Saturday afternoon.

The No. 12 Ole Miss Rebels need a bounce-back performance this week as they take on the South Carolina Gamecocks in Columbia.

Ole Miss (4-1, 0-1 SEC) dropped an upset loss to the Kentucky Wildcats last week, and its College Football Playoff hopes need a boost as we enter Week 6 of the college football season. The Gamecocks and a hostile environment at Williams-Brice Stadium stand in the way of the Rebels accomplishing just that.

Lane Kiffin's Rebels will be without edge rusher Princely Umanmielen on Saturday due to injury, and it has also been reported that Henry Parrish Jr. is a game-time decision at running back for Ole Miss. Both of these players suffered injuries last week against Kentucky, so the Rebels could be a little shorthanded as they seek to regain some momentum on Saturday.

Follow along below for in-game updates from action between Ole Miss and South Carolina.
